Lukaku is nothing without service. He cannot make opportunities for himself, Like a RVN or RVP, he needs balls into the box that he can attack. This is why Jose was desperate to get Perisic. It was for his assists and crossing ability. It would guarantee to make Lukaku a 30 goal a season striker. When Pogba and Lukaku hit that groove in their first season together, it was through balls that were being played into him and he was running onto them and scoring loads of goals. Then something changed. He started playing with his back to goal and stopped making those runs. He came back from the World Cup shattered and out of shape. Funnily enough, his best game was Arsenal away when he was played on the right and asked to do something completely different. It bizarrely worked, which proves that he does have other elements to his game. As a plan B striker, he is a really strong option, but if we can get £75 million for him, we could go and get a top striker from France or Portugal for the same amount of money. This morning Greizmann has been saying he wants to come the PL. Hmmmmm
